3. For some reason, it's your fault a customer can only get merchandise credit when they want to return items without a tag and a receipt.
Listen, I'm sorry your son ripped off the tags and threw away the receipt before trying them on, but you're still getting store credit.

4. When your regional manager comes to visit the store and your manager pleads with you to be on your best behavior.

5. When an item doesn't have a tag when you ring it up, and a middle-aged adult tries to make the "Looks like it's free!" joke.
No. Just no.

6. Your fake smile is practically second nature at this point.
But maybe it's not that natural.

7. A part of you dies inside whenever a customer actually needs help when you ask "Are you finding everything alright?"
I only ask because if I didn't, I'd lose my job. I don't actually want to help you.

8. You get irrationally angry when a customer puts their money on the counter, rather than in your outstretched hand.
Because that would have been too easy, apparently!

9. The company just expecting you to stop someone from stealing.
How am I, a girl who barely weighs 120 pounds, going to stop a 6'5 man? Real funny, Home Office.

12. It's suddenly your fault that a customer's credit card is declined, and then proceeds to force you to swipe it again and again.

Sorry, but we aren't a daycare. Keep your kids close at all times.

We aren't a bank, either. Shocker, I know!

When an employee says to take your time after close, it's a lie. It will always be a lie.

17. Trying to keep your cool when a customer wanders off in the middle of a transaction.
Either step out of line or continue to shop after checking out. Don't hold up the line if you aren't ready to check out.

21. When it's time for you to clock out and a customer approaches you with a question, and your boss makes you help them.
My coat is already on and I have my bag. Does it look like I'm still on the clock?

22. It taught you how to be a better person.
Above all, you learned how to treat people and public places correctly. Not really something you can say about 90% of the customers you help. Go you.

23. And to all the customers who do treat us and the store with respect, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
You're what makes our job worthwhile.
